COLLAR BUTTON.

Application filed September My invention relates to a new and improved form of collar button.

One of the objects of my invention relates to a collar button having a non-circular head 5 which can be turned about acentral axis, and which can be locked in a plurality of positions so as to enable the collar button to be readily inserted through the button holes of the collar or the lil: and to enable the said head to be moved to locking position Another object of this invention is to provide a collar button of this type which shall be of simple and durable construction and shal have a minimum number of parts.

Other objects of this invention will be set forth in the following description and drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment thereof, it lcing understood that the above general statement or the objects of my invention is intended to generally ex plain the same, andnot. to limit it in any manner.

l 1 is a side elevation of my improved but-ton. I

2 is a section on the line 2-2 t z 3 is an end view of Fig. 1 the collar on being shown in what may be termed ontering" position.

' l is a section on the linel-d 0t is a view similar toFig. 3, the head of the collar button being; shown as having been turned 90, so that the said head is in the locking position.

The collar button com; ses a body portion 10, having a curved inner end so as to it the contour of the neclro'f the user. The body portion 10 is provided with a bore 15., said bore having a relatively wide portion adjacent the inner end of the body 10, and having a relatively narrow portion adjacent the outer end of the body 10. T he head 11 ot the collar button is provided with a narrow shank 18 which its within the narrow portion of the bore 15. The inner end of the shank 18 is provided with a head 17, which ts within the wide portion of the bore 15 A compression spring 16 tends 4, 1926. Serial No. 133,636.

the angular groove 12 are provided with.

transverse angular notches 13.

l-Ience, wl1en the head of the collar button is in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 3, for example, the compression spring 16 causes the head to be yieldingly held in the position shown. head 11 can be readily inserted through the button holes of a shirt, collar, or the like.

After the collar button has been inserted into the proper position, the head 11 can be readily pulled outwardly a short distance, so that it can be then turned around to have the angular projection 14 engage the trans verse notchesor depressions 13 in the walls of the groove 12.

The head His held in this locking position by means of the compression spring 16.

My improved ollar button reipiires only two parts, both of which strong and substantial and it is free "from lockii '1 pins or other small parts which can be 'ured by the manipulationfof the collar but-ton.

l have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, but it is clear that numerous changes and omissions can be made without leuarting from its spirit.

I claim:

A collar button having a rounded base fi ing the curvature of the neck, elliptical shank joined thereto the top of said shank being; bevelled to receive a button substantially ellipsoidal in shape resting upon said shanln a series of indentationsin said shank adapted to r ceive said button in a plurality of fixed positions and a spring connecting said shank and said button.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature SOLOMON KAUFMAN.
